Consumer Description

Check engine light came on and after scanning Code P2445 'Secondary Air Injection Pump Stuck Off' was the error. Vehicle went into lower power mode, which is very unsafe for highway driving. The Secondary Air Injection Pump issues have plagued Toyota V8's for many years and I had hoped they'd fixed the issue by the 2nd Generation Tundras, I guess not. Dealer replaced the Secondary Air Injection Pump for about $850 and noted that there was moisture in the pump, which caused it to short out - very similar to issues reported by other Toyota V8 owners. Toyota has a 10 year warranty on the Secondary Air Injection Pumps for 2007-2010 Tundras and 2008-2010 Sequoia models - but no other years/models. It's time that Toyota recall these vehicles and fix them properly, or extend the warranty to all years/models.
